That looks so cool! That S-curve will look cool when its got trains running on it. What is the radius on those curves anyways (I saw that the switch was 40" and 30" radius)?
Not to get to off track here, but I think it is an interesting trend to see all these "industrial park" layouts. When I look at my old track planning and operations books, they almost always are about the "train coming into a small town and doing local switching, then leaving". Now, entire layouts take place within the confines of a single warehouse/factory complex. Certainly not complaining, that is an awesome way to pack realism into a small space, but its definitely interesting to see the hobby evolve.
